Pacific council fails to waive second reading on interim land-use control; item sent to Nov. 24
Loading...
Summary
The City of Pacific Council voted 2-3 on Nov. 10 against waiving a second reading to adopt an interim official control extension that would identify allowable development types in parts of the city. The measure will return for final consideration on Nov. 24.
The City of Pacific City Council on Nov. 10 rejected a motion to waive the second reading and immediately adopt an interim official control extension intended to identify allowable development types in certain areas of the city.
Council Member Helms moved to waive the second reading on AB25-146a (Ordinance 2025-2116); Mayor Pro Tem Putnam seconded the motion. On a roll-call vote, Helms and Putnam voted yes and Council Members Boles, Kerry Garberding and Petersen voted no, and the motion failed 2-3. The council then forwarded the ordinance for a final reading at the Nov. 24 meeting.
The ordinance text discussed at the meeting was described as an interim official control extension that would "identify the type of allowable development in certain areas of the City." No additional details about the specific development types or geographic scope were provided during the Nov. 10 discussion.
Council members who opposed the waiver did not offer a single, recorded explanation in the minutes for their no votes; the meeting record shows the roll-call results but does not include extended debate in those segments. The council’s next steps are a formal final-reading session on Nov. 24, when council members may vote on adoption with a full second reading or consider amendments.
Action: The council’s failure to waive the second reading means AB25-146a remains pending; the item was scheduled for final reading on Nov. 24, 2025.
